Double Z Hydrangea & Bee Blossom



Hello My Crafty Friends,

Today I have a Double Z Fold Card and I have used Susan's Garden Autumn Hydrangea from Autumn Flora Release and Bee Blossom from Garden Gate Release.  I love this Double Z Fold Card.

Double Z Fold Card Base - white 110# cardstock 6" X 12" scored at 3" and 6" mountain fold at 3" and valley fold at 6".  I double matted using black cardstock for first layer 2 pcs 2-3/4" X 5-3/4" and 1 at 5-3/4" square. Second layer (patterned paper Bloom With Grace Collection from Crafters Companion) is 2 pcs 2-1/2 X 5-1/2 and 1 pc 5-1/2" square. Layers were added to card base using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  1 pc white 110# cardstock 4-1/2" X 9" scored at 3" and 6" fold mountain and valley.  Black cardstock cut 2-3/4" X 4-1/4 " 2 pcs add to middle and right panels using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Patterned paper cut at 2-1/2" X 4" 2 pcs adhered to black panels.  Place left panel to card front approximately 1-1/2" in from left edge and even space top & bottom adhere.  Add adhesive to back of right panel fold up inner piece and fold card making sure right panel adheres to inside of card.

Spellbinders Candlewick Rectangles  S5-399 were used to cut a white rectangle from black cardstock cut the decorative frame.  adhere black frame over white rectangle.  Adhere to card front using adhesive to just left side centering rectangle on card.

Using Susan's Garden Specialty Paper and Autumn Hydrangea die set S4-1073 from Autumn Flora Collection die cut 2 hydrangeas and leaves and flower base from green cardstock.  Using Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit shape all.  Hydrangea leaves were adhered down first then Hydrangea bases adhered down and then add petals.  PanPastels yellow ochre tint and permanent red tint were used to add a small amount of color to the petals once glue has dried then add prills in center of each flower.  Next Bee Blossom S3-445 from Garden Gate Collection was cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper then colored with Copic Markers.V99, RV17 and RV52.  Shape using Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit.  Add to card front.  Susan has YouTube videos for creating the hydrangea found here and Bee Blossom here

I do hope you like my card today and it has inspired you to make your own.

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective paper covering adhesive

Family Birthday Cards

Welcome my crafty friends! Today I have a couple birthday cards I did for our grandson and my hubby.  Our grandson and hubby share their birthday - grandson was best birthday gift ever. Our grandson turned 18 and he loves to fish he has a boat and fishes when he is not working.  Hubby turned 79 and loves his John Deere tractor.   Cards are both 6" X 6" and I used a combination of dies and Cricut to make my cards. The pop up mechanism was same for both it was an old die set of Karen Burniston when she was with Elizabeth Craft Designs - Bathtub Pop Up.  Another time I would reshape the bathtub into a boat but I had already hand cut the boat then went looking for a die set that had a pop up mechanism to use kind of like putting the cart before the horse. KB Riley  1003  Word 2 Birthday, 1031 Numbers and 1049 Camping Charms  were used.  The fisherman, fish and the silhouette of boat and fisherman were cut on Cricut.  Hooked On Fishing was  cut from a top strip of design paper fro

  Hello my crafty friends! Another Breast Cancer Survivor card that I created in October.  Once again I used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Sunflower, Acacia and Berry Branch and for this card Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame die set. My card base is 5" X 7" made from 100# white cardstock.  Embossed layer is 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" white cardstock.  I used a swiss dot embossing folder (it is an old 8-1/2" X 11" embossing folder - I have used it so much it is taped together now).  This piece was attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive .  Using the Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame 2  largest dies I cut 1 from pink cardstock adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.   I printed sentiment on white cardstock then die cut using the next 2 dies from Lisette die set then attached to card front using dimensional tape.
